My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 704 A New Story Born
The long battle came to an end, and when the goddesses mustered up the courage to move forward, they found that the battlefield was empty.

"This is really... a brutal battle."

The sun goddess Quetzalcoatl was dumbfounded as she looked at the cracked earth, the slowly healing ocean, and the sky that still retained its strange colors.

"I could clearly sense the presence of the beast a few minutes ago, but now, there is not even a trace of it?"

"Hey, Eleshkigal, your captives seem to be quite impressive."

The goddess of the underworld did not respond. She just pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. Her hands, which were clenched in her robe, were trembling slightly. Her back looked so lonely in front of the surging tide.

She could no longer sense the breath of the new moon.

For a moment, she even wanted to immediately dismiss this divine incarnation, rush to the Persian Gulf in person, and search every corner here with the power of the goddess.

But at this moment, three streams of light fell from the sky and appeared in front of the two goddesses.

“Jin Gu, and…” Quetzal looked at the two monsters whose appearance was incompatible with all the creatures in this world, but exuded the aura of the real gods, and couldn’t help but frowned, “Who are they?”

"It is Baal-Lahmu, the eleventh son of Tiamat created by his mother."

Kingu, with long green hair and missing both arms, explained. The two Baal-Lahmu, who had brutally killed and devoured their own people, with blood and flesh on their bodies, looked at the goddesses with the same contemptuous tone as always:
"While Mother is sleeping, we are the ones who convey her will."

"Oh?" Ailei looked at Baal Rahmu and others, unable to hide her disgust. "I don't remember any requirement in the Three Goddesses Alliance to submit to the mother."

Bang!
Baal-Lahmu responded by swinging his whip.

Ai Lei's face suddenly changed, and a gun cage appeared in her hand, but the next moment she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the gun cage flew backwards and fell into the turbulent ocean.

The blood of the goddess dripped, and Quetzalcoatl dodged and stood in front of the injured Elly, with a blazing flame on his hand:

"You, what do you mean?"

"Heh..." Facing the hostile goddesses, Baalahmu folded his arms and sneered, disdainful to answer. In the increasingly tense atmosphere, Jingu sighed and took a step forward.

"That's enough, both of you. Don't forget the purpose your mother created you for."

After warning Baal Rahmu, the young man turned around and looked at the three goddesses who were on guard. He suddenly frowned:

"Mother...where is Gorgon?"

"Put aside your hypocritical name, Jin Gu." Ai Lei said coldly, "You have only been taking advantage of the Goddess of Warcraft all along."

"Haha? Use? You think too highly of her. That woman was just a tool for my mother to be born..."

"I said, shut up!"

The Heavenly Chain appeared and smashed towards Baal Lahm, but was caught by the phantom giant claws, making a crackling sound.

Jingu stared at Baal Rahmu, who had his mouth wide open, and then looked away after a moment.

"Forget it. You can think whatever you want. But now that Mother Tiamat has awakened ahead of schedule, everything in the Three Goddesses Alliance must return to her arms."

“Those who disobey…” Jin Gu paused and said in a deep voice, “Don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

Facing Jin Gu's declaration, Ailei and Quetzal looked at the two Baal Lahms who were eager to try, and frowned at their undisguised strong malice.

In the battle between the Third Magician and the Beast, they were just bigger minions.

But when the evil beasts fell asleep and the heroes disappeared, the Baal-Lahmu, who had the power of the main gods, proclaimed themselves kings.

What's more, Kingu, who is also the son of Tiamat, will not show mercy to the rebels.

The Heaven's Chain, which is a special attack weapon against the gods, is the most dangerous weapon against the gods.

"...I understand." Finally, Quetzal sighed, "Anyway, my goal has not changed from the beginning to the end. The dense forests of South America will erode Uruk bit by bit until all life is devoured."

"Thank you for your understanding, Sun Goddess." Jin Gu stopped the restless Baal Rahmu, nodded slightly, and then looked at Ai Lei, "So, what is your choice?"

Facing the provocative gazes of Baal Lahmu and others, the goddess of the underworld was silent for a moment, but still raised her head firmly.

"I have one more question."

Jin Gu raised an eyebrow, he noticed the slight tremor in the goddess' words.

"How...how is he?"

“Are you talking about your former captives?” The green-haired boy felt the severe pain in his arms and twitched the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to laugh, but what he finally revealed in front of the goddesses was a solemn compassion.

"Unfortunately, after using up all his strength, he fell into his mother's sea of ​​life. He must have died."

As he spoke, Jin Gu stared at Ai Lei's face, trying to find some signs from her expression, but in the end, the goddess just trembled her lips slightly, and lowered her eyes after a long time.

"I understand. I will continue with my previous policy and help you...destroy Uruk."

"That's great." Jin Gu nodded with satisfaction, but at this moment, Baal Rahmu hugged his shoulders and laughed again.

"That foolish enemy may not be dead."

Seeing the goddess' eyes suddenly light up, the eleven sons of Tiamat grinned and could not wait to utter malicious words.

"Once you fall into Mother's Sea of ​​Life, you will never be able to die again. Your soul will only be twisted in a life worse than death. Then your spirit and memory will be rewritten, and you will become one of us."

Lahmu learned human language, but he did not use it to express friendliness. Instead, he used a more vicious way to deliver a sharp knife.

"Look...he's here."

boom!
The sudden explosion of black mud dragged the goddess' eyes filled with hope back into hell.

Something extremely dangerous has been born...

----

"The current investigation results show that the beast tide was just a riot caused by the monsters' fear. Now they have all dispersed. We should be able to catch our breath tonight..."

"Lord Amakusa is really hardworking." The red-haired ninja waded through the blood pooled from the monster corpses, wielded a kunai, and expertly cut off the fur. "Even though you are on the battlefield, you still remember to pass on the information."

"You're too kind, Kotaro." The white dove carrying the message spread its wings and flew into the sky, causing the breeze to blow through the white hair and fall on the boy's hunting clothes. The Far East Saint turned around and smiled gently, "I'm just doing what I can."

"That being said, I still want to thank you for your help, Lord Amakusa." Fuma Kotaro said seriously, "If it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for me to defend the southern region of Uruk. You should have been in the palace helping the king deal with the news..."

Amakusa shook his head slightly: "No need to feel guilty. After all, no one would have expected that the monsters in the cedar forest would suddenly launch a beast tide. Obviously, the damage has never been replenished, but they chose to gamble everything at this time."

"At that time, there were still a large number of young and strong men assisting in the construction of the city. The only ones who could wield weapons on their behalf were us who stayed in the palace."

After a pause, Amakusa suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Kotaro, you were exploring the edge of the Persian Gulf before, right? Why did you return to the South Region to assist in the battle?"

"Ah, that's because..." Fuma Kotaro recalled the scene at that time, with a bitter expression on his face, "I'm too weak."

"Eh?"

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? As a Servant, I actually felt so powerless at that time."

The sky fell and the black tide roared. In the dim world, the beasts of disaster and the heroes of mankind shouted loudly and fought each other. Even the thunder and storm were shattered by them, falling into the sea, splashing fragmented afterimages.

Recalling the scene he captured at that time, Fuma Kotaro still can't help shuddering.

"The sage summoned by the king said, 'We are no longer useful. Instead of wasting time here, we should spend it somewhere more useful.' So we fled from there and returned to our own battlefield."

"So, we still don't know who stopped the two beasts from moving forward." Amakusa pondered, "The Lord's revelation told me that the person was a familiar comrade, but who was it..."

Fuma Kotaro blinked, his thick bangs covering his thoughtful eyes: "Could it be Lord Shuoyue?"

"Huh?" The young saint widened his eyes in surprise, "Why, why is it him?"

"Because you see, we, the ones summoned by King Gilgamesh, are all guarding various battlefields. The only one who can move freely and has the courage to fight the two beasts alone is you, Lord Sakutsuki..."

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!" Amakusa raised his voice unconsciously, not knowing who he was refuting, "How could that person do such a thing!"

Kotaro tilted his head: "You seem to have a unique insight into Lord Sakutsuki's character. Can you tell me the reason?" Amakusa's tone paused slightly. Perhaps it was the deep impression left by the Holy Grail War that year. Whenever he mentioned Sakutsuki, his calm mood would fluctuate.

But even if he had prejudice, based on his understanding of Shuoyue, such a thing was impossible!

"That guy is determined to be the kind of person who is on the scale. If all of humanity is placed on the scale, then he will give up the smaller side in order to save the larger side, even if there is only a difference of one person."

Recalling the cruel assassin, the young saint waved his arms and said firmly: "How could such a person who would do anything to achieve his goal choose to sacrifice himself for the sake of this world without asking for anything in return?"

"He will definitely use even more unreasonable methods to exchange the most extreme efficiency for the greatest benefit - he will never personally join the game and become a lone pawn in deep enemy territory!"

It is obvious that there is no benefit in doing this.

Moreover, facing two beasts of disaster, even the most powerful heroic spirit would have no chance of survival.

How could that sinister and cunning guy put himself in such a dangerous situation?
Kotaro looked at Amakusa Shiro who suddenly became excited, thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

Perhaps what Lord Amakusa said is correct, or perhaps they only saw the surface of Lord Sakutsuki and did not know the true nature of this young man.

However, could the person who is recognized by so many heroes and can even drink and chat with King Gilgamesh really be the cold-blooded realist described by Amakusa?

There must be some place that has been overlooked by Lord Amakusa or even by us.

And that’s where that young man shines.

"It would be great if Lord Sakutsuki was here." Thinking of this, Fuma Kotaro sighed softly, "Even if he is not the one who stops the two beasts, with his strength, he can scout the battlefield for us."

"That being said, that guy is used to being alone. Who knows where he is now?" Amakusa rolled his eyes. "Maybe when we return to the palace, we'll find him reporting the battle situation to the king."

“Heh, heh…” Fuma Kotaro laughed dryly, “Sometimes, I really don’t know whether Lord Amakusa is doubting Lord Sakutsuki or trusting him unconsciously.”

"I, how could I trust him?" Amakusa was slightly stunned. Just when he was about to refute, there was a commotion suddenly coming from a distance.

Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling!

It was a sound like cloth being torn, but the dirty blood and flesh flying out of the forest were warning everyone of the truth behind the sound!
"who!"

Sensing the spreading demonic energy, Amakusa waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat immediately. At the same time, he tightly grasped his sword and stood ready with Fuma Kotaro: "Tell me your names!"

Gululu...

The monster's head rolled and landed at the feet of the two servants, but they had no time to kick it away. When a distorted and blurry figure in a black robe appeared in front of Amakusa and Kotaro, their Adam's apples rolled and they couldn't help but sweat.

The premonition of death exploded in my mind.

The next moment, the two Servants roared with desperation, and their respective Noble Phantasms shone with brilliant light.

Then, it came to an abrupt stop!

The sky was stained with blood. As the soldiers gazed in disbelief, the darkness opened like the mouth of a giant beast and swallowed their general in one gulp!
"General Amakusa!"

"General Fengma!"

"Retreat, retreat! Retreat quickly and report this to King Gilgamesh!"

Wow…

The footsteps soon faded away, the leaves swayed, and the hazy moonlight that appeared and disappeared behind the drifting dark clouds illuminated the dead ruins.

The goddess had long since abandoned her former temple, but the land still remembered what had happened.

Someone once injured the goddess here, and the blood of the god spilled on the earth.

Now, it's time to grow...

Pure light rose quietly, and the magic circle hidden underground opened silently, outlining a familiar summoning pattern.

The little girl, wearing a pitch-black hood and with a long purple ponytail falling to her waist, quietly opened her devilish eyes.

Holding the strangely shaped sickle tightly, she looked at this strange world in confusion.

I don’t know where this place is, but deep down I know the purpose of my being here.

"I must...kill that wrong self of mine."

Accepting the sad fate calmly, the being born from the goddess' flesh and blood took a step forward and disappeared into the lush forest.

----

"Are you saying that the two generals mysteriously disappeared in the cedar forest?"

On the throne, the wise king was silent for a long time, then raised his hand and signaled the soldiers to withdraw: "I understand."

After the soldiers left, Gilgamesh looked at the empty palace for a long time and snorted coldly.

"Oh, the fir forest? It's indeed the place I hate the most."

Shouts came from outside the palace, and the light from the bonfire was reflected on the gorgeous walls. While thinking, the wise king stood up and walked out of the palace step by step.

Ever since the Demon King crossed time and space, the King's clairvoyance that could see into the future has lost its function.

Time and space were changed by two intruders, and the fate of the world began to spin out of control.

The mysterious disappearance of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuma Kotaro was the beginning of something unexpected.

And the sudden loss of contact with the cook.

——But, no matter now or in the future, one thing has never changed.

Taking another step forward, the sky was filled with stars and reflected in the sky. The wise king looked up and saw the morning star shining brightly in the sky.

It seemed to be foreshadowing a destined meeting.

"Oh……"

The heroic king who commanded Uruk raised his lips:
"Can you come, Chaldea, the only candle that illuminates the stars?"

Even though the future was uncertain, the monarch's heart was still filled with heroic spirit. He opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the city and the starry sky.

"Come if you have the guts! Come to this land where gods and humans live together - the last master of mankind!"

Uruk is brightly lit at night, and the light bands in the sky are like eyes, looking down coldly at this shining city.

The Hero King's voice floated in the darkness, gradually becoming fainter until it disappeared.

The story just turned the page lightly, burying the blood and fire in the sand of history and buried by the blankness.

Then, apply new colors.

"Spirit transfer, ready."

"Goal set, 2600 BC, Uruk."

"Anti-summoning system activated, soul particle conversion started."

"Subject name: Fujimaru Ritsuka. The soul particle conversion process is complete."

Lying in the transfer cabin, his vision became blurred by the rising biological fluid. In a trance, Fujimaru heard the doctor's calm voice.

"Beginning actual verification, the Seventh Grand Order!"

The next moment, a familiar tunnel unfolded before his eyes, and in the colorful phantom light, time and space opened their doors to him.

"Go to 2600 BC, the ancient Sumerian God Age realm, Mesopotamia!"

The white light drowned everything, and when his vision became clear again, what Fujimaru saw was the vast mountains, rivers and land.

And he was falling at high speed amid the sound of breaking wind!
